University Men Pledge Million for Georgia University
More than 100 Georgia leaders met in Macon to discuss a War Memorial fund campaign of one million dollars for the University of Georgia. Plans allocate five hundred thousand for endowment and half costs for buildings like Alumni Memorial Hall, the men’s dormitory, physics and animal husbandry buildings, a veterinary building, and half the cost of the latter. The drive aims to elevate the university to match peer institutions and ensure a statewide response to fund essential needs. Glory, Glory to Old Georgia.
